It's one of those strange facts I always seem to forget, then act amazed by when reminded of it again. Back in Oct. 1994, the BBWAA handed out its annual awards as usual — no matter if ballparks had been empty for over two months, the World Series had been canceled or the...

From an article on TSN.ca, about why the Toronto Blue Jays should pass on Marco Scutaro:"In other words, the Blue Jays need to tread carefully before they offer a contract to a 34-year old player who is coming off what author Malcolm Gladwell would classify as an 'outlier...
Alabama Crimson Tide Football: More Rose Bowl History?

How to Hit a Baseball: (Head)ing Where?

Cobra Brigade
| Comments
In simplest terms I'm just going to tell you to not have any head movement while you hit. Yes, your eyes will move, but not your head. If your head starts moving up and down or side to side then it's going to throw off your perception of where the ball is and where the ball...

White Sox general manager Ken Williams has a history of throwing knockout blows. Whether it was airing out Frank Thomas in his infamous ''he's an idiot'' tirade or finally prying Jake Peavy away from San Diego, he seldom pulls off subtlety very well.

Now that was what I was looking for. Six home runs, a performance from Buck worthy of a 10 run lead, and a good old sodomizing of a last place team back at Fenway.
